Life on Campus

Brandeis summer school students are not required to live on campus during summer sessions. For students wishing to register for summer housing should contact the Department of Community Living. Please note that the Summer School office does not oversee the housing for summer students. All communications, arrangements, and payment information will be shared through the Department of Community Living.

Waltham is a city full of activities for students staying nearby campus. We also offer all summer session students the opportunity to participate in summer activities at no additional cost.

Students who spend the summer living on campus or in Waltham are well positioned to access greater Boston. The Brandeis/Roberts commuter rail stop is just steps from campus on South Street. The inbound Fitchburg line gets riders into North Station in just about 25 minutes. From North Station, a quick walk will bring you to the water front. You will also have access to the orange line from North Station, and be minutes away from the Green Line as well as the Red Line. You can learn more about how to navigate the Boston MBTA system here.

Why Choose Brandeis

Brandeis is a medium-sized private research university with a global reach, dedicated to first-rate undergraduate education and the making of groundbreaking discoveries. Its more than 550 faculty members are leaders in their fields, as passionate about teaching and mentorship as they are about pushing the boundaries of knowledge. The university’s 5,700 undergraduate and graduate students are motivated, compassionate, curious, and open to exploring new and challenging experiences.

Founded by the American Jewish community as a nonsectarian institution in 1948, when exclusionary practices prevented equal access to some of the nation’s best universities, Brandeis has always welcomed talented students and faculty of every ethnicity, religion and cultural background. A young institution, boldly conceived, it carries on the great traditions of learning at the highest levels of rigor and meaning, guided by a moral conviction rooted in the principles of inclusion and justice.
